Surely there has to be a breaking point right? I wonder if there could be some kind of workaround through Tor, maybe we’ll have to make a new internet with black jack and hookers, or maybe the populace will get complacent and we’ll be forced back into shopping malls to get our social interactions.

True. If there’s no law against it I’m sure it will happen sadly.

Maybe it’s meant as a disincentive to keep people from using services like klarna because too many people aren’t financially responsible enough to handle it.

Sorry you got some benefit out of it, but I would just stop using it after this. It doesn’t help much and if you delete the account it’s one less account you have to worry about getting sold or exposed in a data breach. The EU is better than the US for a lot of consumer protections, potentially including this law, but not necessarily privacy.

I’d like to know too. I bet most Lemmy users are here because we got sick of Reddit, which I consider part of big tech. I’ll participate in this strike as much as I can, but not because I saw this post, it’s just how I want to live my life. I think a lot of Lemmy users share similar goals, so this post may be preaching to the choir, and if it’s not, a 1 day strike on “big tech” won’t show results.

Oh that’s terrible. I wouldn’t equate it to the Holocaust though.

Did something happen with the war? What is this referencing?

I don’t understand how that many more people are using reddit every month. It has to be mostly bots.

Thanks I’ll have to check it out!

That would be nice, but I meant an alternative to Signal. Sorry I wasn’t very clear.

I don’t like the phone number requirement either, but is there a better alternative?

Good info for those of us who still have an iPhone. A pixel with grapheme OS still seems like the best option for a smartphone so I think I’ll switch to that for my next phone.

Yes but it only comes with a metal claw

Not your fault. Companies only care about money so they get rid of employees as soon as they can. Sorry that happened though. Hopefully you got decent severance, and don’t forget to claim unemployment benefits.

Yes!! I think Microsoft wants the same thing since that’s when support for windows 10 ends.
